Processor:

This time the Chinese giant would reportedly opt for a Qualcomm processor, which would be the first time in their K Note Series. Thus, giving them an edge over other mid-range competitors with MediaTek processors. Qualcomm Snapdragon 653 processor is the rumored power-house on the upcoming Lenovo K9 Note later this year. Accompanying the processor would a 4GB RAM. But it is reported that Lenovo might opt for a 6GB RAM, which would be a first in mid-segment.

There is no confirmation on whether the phone will be featuring a Nougat or an Oreo version of Android OS. A recent leak about the Lenovo K9 Note specifications mentioned that phone might be sporting a Snapdragon 660 processor. The phone will surely be launched in the mid segment in the price range of smartphones under 15000 price bracket. That price bracket has become a sweet spot for the mid-range smartphone users to shop!

Camera:

The optics department isn’t the best suite on Lenovo smartphones, but that has changed with the dual camera introduction on Lenovo K8 Note. With K9 Note, Lenovo is taking the camera game to next level as they plan to embed dual front cameras as well offering bokeh effects in the portrait modes. Cuz why not! Portrait mode is the craze these days. A selfie camera with this feature is a killer feature that Lenovo would love to add. Its predecessor had introduced Lenovo's first Dual rear camera design and the Lenovo K9 Note is sure to take that along. Addition of Dual selfie cameras would be an interesting, as it would take the K9 Note into the league of selfie centric smartphones that are around on the market.

Battery:

Criticized for its battery life, the K3 Note had its share of abuse from its users. But Lenovo quickly understood what was wrong with their handset and since then the iterations on this series has been equipped with an impressive battery life. With Lenovo K9 Note company is purported to sport a similar 4100 mAh battery as seen on K8 Note. There would be a rapid charging support for faster charging. Thus, the battery life won’t be an issue on K9 Note phone.

Design and Display:

Lenovo needs to focus a bit more on designing their handset as they have not produced a striking beauty in ages. And that’s what is being expected from Lenovo K9 Note, a design that can bring out inspiration to its users. We need another bezel-less phone and Lenovo K9 Note could be that phone, only if the brand decides to bring its phones to a fantastic design level. Talking about the display, the screen size is expected to be same, but with a bezel-less design, there would be more room for entertainment. Resolution of this screen is purported to be 1920 x 1080, which is a full HD resolution. The curved glass and Corning gorilla protection make it an amazing display to look forward to.

Storage:

Storage standards have changed a lot over the years and Lenovo is quick to adopt them. Thus, the rumor mill states that Lenovo K9 Note would come with a 64GB onboard storage and an option to use expandable storage of up to 128GB. There would be a dedicated slot if one goes with the rumor mill information. No storage woes at all on this one.

Verdict:

To wait for this device or not is purely up to you. We would recommend you mustn’t as it might not turn up as you expect. The mid-range segment is a crowded market and it is ever growing. If you are the person who has the patience to wait for phone or you’re not simply looking for an upgrade for at least next six months, then, you can definitely wait out and see how Lenovo K9 Note turns up in real life. As far as the Lenovo K9 Note specifications are concerned, there is nothing confirmed about it. So, we suggest you take the information listed here with a pinch of salt.

The news of the launch of its predecessor the K8 Note has definitely created waves. Thus increasing the expectations on the Lenovo K8 Note specifications.
